Methods and apparatus for playback using pre-processed information and personalization
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for playback using pre-processed profile information and personalization. Example apparatus disclosed herein include a synchronizer to, in response to receiving a media signal to be played on a playback device, access an equalization (EQ) profile corresponding to the media signal; an EQ personalization manager to generate a personalized EQ setting; and an EQ adjustment implementor to modify playback of the media signal on the playback device based on a blended equalization generation based on the EQ profile and the personalized EQ setting.
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
accessing a first equalization profile corresponding to a media signal;
generating a personalized equalization setting based on at least a second equalization profile corresponding to an application associated with the media signal;
generating a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first equalization profile and a second weight to the personalized equalization setting; and
modifying playback of the media signal on a playback device based on the blended equalization.
2. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the first equalization includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with a song, (4) information identifying a mood associated with a video segment, and (5) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
3. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the second equalization includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with a song, (4) information identifying a mood associated with a video segment, and (5) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
4. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the personalized equalization setting comprises one or more previous personalization equalization settings.
5. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on one or more previous personalization equalization settings.
6. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the personalized equalization setting is based on data indicating one or more preferences of a user.
7. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on data indicating one or more preferences of a user.
8. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the personalized equalization setting is based on data indicating a location of the playback device.
9. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on data indicating a location of the playback device.
10. The non-transitory computer readable storage of claim 1 , wherein accessing the first equalization profile corresponding to the media signal is in response to receiving the media signal to be played on the playback device.
11. A method comprising:
accessing a first equalization profile corresponding to a media signal;
generating a personalized equalization setting based on at least a second equalization profile corresponding to an application associated with the media signal;
generating a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first equalization profile and a second weight to the personalized equalization setting; and
modifying playback of the media signal on a playback device based on the blended equalization.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the first equalization includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with a song, (4) information identifying a mood associated with a video segment, and (5) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
13. The method of claim 11 , wherein the second equalization includes playback attributes corresponding to at least one of (1) information identifying a category associated with a song, (2) information identifying a category associated with a video segment, (3) information identifying a mood associated with a song, (4) information identifying a mood associated with a video segment, and (5) information identifying signal strength parameters for different frequencies with a portion of the media signal.
14. The method of claim 11 , wherein the personalized equalization setting comprises one or more previous personalization equalization settings.
15. The method of claim 11 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on one or more previous personalization equalization settings.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the personalized equalization setting is based on data indicating one or more preferences of a user.
17. The method of claim 11 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on data indicating one or more preferences of a user.
18. The method of claim 11 , wherein the personalized equalization setting is based on data indicating a location of the playback device.
19. The method of claim 11 , wherein the set of operations further comprise adjusting the personalized equalization setting based on data indicating a location of the playback device.
20. A computing device comprising:
one or more processors; and
a non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions which, when executed, cause the one or more processors to perform a set of operations comprising:
accessing a first equalization profile corresponding to a media signal;
generating a personalized equalization setting based on at least a second equalization profile corresponding to an application associated with the media signal;
generating a blended equalization by applying a first weight to the first equalization profile and a second weight to the personalized equalization setting; and
modifying playback of the media signal on a playback device based on the blended equalization.
